mass of consumers from the despotism OF
railroad created "trade centeTs."
Certain points are natural Centers CT
trade-ChiCagO is one; many others have
been created where they cannot have 8
healthy existence. For example, Fargo
correspondent writes:
Under the new law the railways give
rates from Chicago to Fargo so that we
can commence business upon new plan,
and will (unless ST. Paul and Minneapolis
succeed in having the Interstate COM
merce law suspended in the northwest,
as it has been n the southwest, which
they are exerting every nerve to dog,
without DOUBT, be able TO establish dis
tributing point here, which will benefit
very materially every interested person.
We can get goods here now for less
rate than St. Paul or Minneapolis can lay
them down for, and we want to stimu-
late the Chicago wholesale interest as far
as we possibly can to prevent the inter-
state commerce commission from sus-
pending the law. If they do it simply
puts US back where we were, and allows
st. Paul to not only dictate prices for our
grain, but to overchsrge US for all our
supplies.
The suspension of the long and short
hauling clause in this case would benefit
the artificial trade center Of st. Paul, but
it would check the development of the
whole northwest. Its enforcement
would benefit the natural trade
center of Chicago, and in so doing
would benefit vast section of
the Republic. 1t is to this end that
Interstate commerce laws tend-the de-
veIopment of the whole country by allow
ing the natural laws of distribution to have
free operation. If "trade centers" have
been created where the maintenance in
wolves tax upon the industry and pros
perity of vast territories such trade CEN
ters can not too soon be left to undergo
the work of the law of natural decay. The
welfare of city with 1000 or l20,-
900 inhabitants is not to be maintained
by the oppression of whole states and
territories that should become the homes
of millions of people. At the natural
centers of distribution there is desire to
see the new law fairly tried; at the art~'
feial centers there is desire to SEED
suppressed.

NATURE OF TIE LAW.
Is 1t a Law fer the Railroads or Law for
the People.


IsIt Law for the Railroads or a Law for
the People.
ChiCay 20 Herald
From the inquiry addressed to the
Herald by a reputable firm at the stock
wards it is evident that some business
men are now asking themselves the Ques-
ton which this journal propotnded when
the irter-s tate commerce bill was pend
ing, Whether that measure was not, as
q matter of fact, in the in
terest of the railroads which assumed
to be antagoniziug it? The Herald's
curiosity at that date was aroused by
the singular circumstance that, while tn
railroad lobby had been powerful enough
for ten years to prevent any legislation
on the subject of national control, the
presentation of the sO-Called compromise
bill found the entire horde of railroad
Senators and their assistants on the out
side in hearty sympathy with the move
which the emasCulated Reagan bill
contemplated If the bill as passed
was not what the railroads wanted
or what some of the railroads wanted, 1t
Enthusiastically had the support OF the
greater part of the MEN who are known
in Washington as railroad sympathizers
and agents. They either saw IN it an
opportunity to get even with the people
for demanding national legislation and of
bringing the whole plan of national
control into disfavOr, or they whipped
it into some thing which would place
some advantages on the side OF powerful
corporations and enable them to profit by
the discontinue of rivals and of the
people. Whether one or both OF these
motives governed in the adoption Of the
measure cannot now be certainly known,
but there is little doubt that the bill as
passed represented the craft of the lobby
as well as the honest out misguided
aspirations of the people and their repre-
Sen5ltlV5S.
The question asked by the Herald's
correspondent is: "Did Congress form
the inter. state commerce bill for the ben
eft OF those engaged in the raising Of or
dealing in live stock, or for their detri-
ment, or for the benefit of the railroad
compsnies?" Since the law went into eff
feet it appears that the freight rates on
live stock shipm nts from Omaha
and Kansas City to Chicago and from Chi
cago to the seaboard have been materially
increased. and this fact is what has
raised the presumption that the measure
Is for the benefit of the railroads and not
for the benefit OF the people who are COM
PEELED to patronize them. Similar COM
plsints are made in many places, mure
especially along the lines OF the more
powerful transportation companies.
Some of these roads have not
felt any i'll effects from the
law at all, and to all appearances
most of them have been able under its
onerstion to stiffen prices considerably.
While this situation of affairs is Vexa-
tious, it is to be remembered by all
interests concerned that the country is
merely cropping at this time for settled
and just railroad policy, If it has been
tricked into the adoption of law which
is to operate unfairly aud oppressively

LONG AND SHORT HAULs.

It is the subject of much comment that
the Southern states which were first and
most vehement in the demand for the
passage of an Interstate commerce bill are
first to protest against it, now that it has
passed. The very constituencies which
denounced Senator CullOm's scheme of es-
tablishing railway commission first and
legislating upon it's report afterWard, the
very congressman whose zeal against
"bloated monopolies" would be satisfied
with nothing less, and demanded much
more, than the long and short haul clause
are now besieging the commissioners
with petitions for suspension of the en-
forcement of that clause toward railways
which traverse the districts in which they
reside.
With questionable propriety, the COM
missioners have consented to tempo
rary suspension of the clause on behalf
of certain southern railways. The pro-
priety is questionable. because the pur-
pose of the LAWS experimental. If, after
trial of it's operation, the long and short
haul clause should prove seriously and
irrevocsbIy injurious to any road, there
might be proprietY in its suspension.
but to suspend it before trial is to make
it contemplate nullity.
Encouraged by the successful petition
of the southern roads, certain northern,
and especially northwestern, rosds are
praying for suspension, and their prayers
will be supplemented by memorials from
the boards of trsd de of certain interested
cities. =
Now, the commissioners should not fail
to remember that the purpose of the law
is not TO build up "trade centers;n it Is
exactly the opposite of this. 1t came into
existence at. the demand of people who
felt themselves injured by the forced
building up of etrsde centeFs" at points
where nature never meant trade centers"
